Great Journey 🏍 Day 335
Procedure of a normal tea break
1. one of us is starting to get a pain in the ass
2. the person asks: "Shall we take a break?".
3. passing through village/town/hamlet or past a roadside stall
4. Everybody waves, always. More like a hello wave. Especially male children. (PS gene?)
5. men, standing or sitting in front of a teahouse, wave at us, a kind of welcoming wave.
We stop, dismount and sit down. The tea is on the stools in seconds. We sit on little chairs, which are common here (reminds us of the parents' meetings in our children's first classes, where we had to squat in the classrooms).
7. we chat. Where from, where to? How do we like Turkey? Do we have children? Yes? Very good!
8. selfie time
9. the second tea is brought.
10 We learn that we have already seen more of Turkey than our interlocutors.
11. whether we had already eaten? They would order something for us.
12. where we would sleep?
13 Now it's time to leave. Gerd tries to pay. He fails miserably. Every time. Someone has already paid.
While we are getting ready and climbing up, someone slips us water bottles, which we dutifully stow in our tank bag.
15. as you jet off, the whole village waves, shouting something like "See you!", "Bye!" or "Enjoy your meal!" (Which, to be honest, we think is really cute).
Conclusion: warmth of heart, tea and another beautiful memory saved. The only thing that rarely works on these doll's chairs is relaxing the buttocks and legs.
